Curator Onboarding

Professional Traders, Hedge Funds and Quant Teams

Curators are systematic trading teams who deploy and manage strategies within Neutral Trade's Neutral Strategy Vaults infrastructure, attracting external capital without handling operations, fund setup, or investor relations.

Do you qualify?

Criterion
Minimum

Sharpe ratio

1.5 or above (exceptions for uncorrelated strategies)

Market bias

Low directional; persistent long/short bias is not a fit

Execution

Fully systematic. No discretionary or screen-based trading

Signal frequency

Daily or higher

We prioritize strategies that are uncorrelated to our existing vaults. Niche or low-capacity strategies with genuine decorrelation often receive larger allocations than higher-capacity strategies with overlapping signals.

What Neutral Trade provides

  • Single SMA management — point all investors to Neutral Trade; manage one account instead of many.

  • Automated fee charging — performance fees calculated per-wallet against individual high water marks. No manual invoicing.

  • Institutional infrastructure — prime access to Binance, OKX, Bybit, Gate, Kucoin, Bitget, Hyperliquid, Lighter, Kraken, and Deribit. Off-exchange settlement for centralized exchange trading via Copper and Ceffu reduces exchange counterparty risk.

  • IP protection — your code stays in your environment. Neutral Trade commits to never replicating or reverse-engineering your strategy.

  • Operational independence — no exclusivity, no non-competes. You can manage outside capital alongside your Neutral Strategy Vault.

  • Focus on alpha — Neutral Trade handles operations, investor relations, reporting, and technical onboarding (sub-account setup, API integration, transfer management).

  • Seamless Execution and Margin Management — Neutral Trade’s proprietary Margin Management System can rebalance capital between exchanges and counterparties mentioned above automatically, triggered by a single API call.


If you're a systematic trading team generating consistent alpha in digital assets, Neutral Trade provides the capital, infrastructure, and operational support to realize your strategy's full potential.
